The Lakers have been playing like a fringe playoff team ever since Julius Randle got inserted into the starting line up (coincidence???? MAYBE), but it’s way too late for them to think about making the playoffs. What they should be thinking about instead is making it to .500 for the season so Laker fans can…

Julius Randle Career High 36 Points/7 Assists Full Highlights (3/11/2018)
Julius Randle has improved nicely every year he’s been in the league. Remember his rookie season? His legs were so weak that he could barely step on the court without them disintegrating! The amount of progress he had made since then is staggering. Just earlier this season the Lakers FO/coaching staff were openly hostile towards…
Read MoreJulius Randle 25 Points Full Highlights (3/3/2018)
So Julius Randle averaged 19/9/4 in the month of February on 59% shooting. Those are approaching prime Blake Griffin numbers (or if you want to dig deeper into Clippers history, prime Elton Brand numbers). If Randle averaged those numbers for a whole season he would be an undisputed top five power forward in the league….

It caught me way off guard when I checked Julius Randle’s stats this year and saw he was only averaging 2.4 assists per game. It seems like every time he has a good scoring game, he’s also having a good passing game. And, obviously, I’m coming fresh off making a highlight video where he gets…

I was told, repeatedly, that Julius Randle was going to be traded. Yet the trade deadline is long past, and Randle is still in a Lakers uniform? If the Lakers hated him so much (as also has been claimed repeatedly), why didn’t they take a second-round pick for him and move on with their rebuild?…
Read MoreJulius Randle 20 Points Full Highlights (2/14/2018)
Somehow I got the idea that Julius Randle scored more points than this. I got to the end of the game, he only had 20, and I was like “what”, because I thought he had a few more than that. Oops. Not going to throw out all the work I did, though, so here you…

The trade deadline has passed and Julius Randle’s lumpy face is still on the Lakers. And now, with Larry Nance Jr. sitting in Cleveland crying tears of pure joy, there’s very little competition for power forward minutes. This is the perfect opportunity for Randle to play himself into a big contract; I mean, even if…
Read MoreJulius Randle 21 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (2/6/2018)
Time is running out for the Lakers to trade Randle as so much of their fanbase wants. But every game where he undeniably contributes to a win just makes it harder for anybody in the front office to pull the trigger. Take this game for example: he FEASTED on Dragan Bender’s Euroey softness with some…
Read MoreJulius Randle 27 Points Full Highlights (1/21/2018)
Lakers fans seem to be ready to move on from Julius Randle. Obviously not all of them are, but I don’t get the sense that he’s especially beloved. Is it because he has small hands? It must be, or something like that, because he is putting up some decent stats and looks pretty good in…
Read MoreJulius Randle 23 Points Full Highlights (1/13/2018)
I can’t even tell from the stats or from these highlights whether Julius Randle had a good game or nah. ARGUMENTS FOR JULIUS HAVING HAD A GOOD GAME: -He scored 23 points. 23 points is a lot. -He was nine of fifteen from the floor and five of sex from the welfare line -He had…
